In war, a victor gives no quarter (or takes no prisoners) when the victor shows no clemency or mercy and refuses to spare the life of a vanquished opponent in return for their surrender at discretion (unconditional surrender). A war crime is an act that constitutes a serious violation of the laws of war that gives rise to individual criminal responsibility.
